At a special board meeting on October 23, the board confirmed Donna Quan as Director. Here is part of her system message…
"The Board has finalized its offer and I was honoured to accept the permanent role of Director of Education at the Toronto District School Board. This is an inspirational time and with this confirmed four year mandate, I am eager to work with our staff, students and communities to promote high performing and caring learning and work environments for everyone.
"As you have heard me say, I want the TDSB to be defined by the actions it takes on behalf of the students we serve. Our action plan includes a relentless focus on ways to strengthen and improve educational outcomes and student achievement. To do that, we need to put learning resources and tools directly in the hands of our students and see that every dollar we spend is an investment towards improved student outcomes…A strategic plan – Years of Action 2013-2017 – will be shared in the coming month."
